Eight transgenders pull out of Election

Description

Eight transgenders have pulled out of contesting in the general elections 2018 after they failed to arrange money to register themselves with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

Maria Khan, a candidate contesting from Mansehra PK 31 said “I’m scared of going out on streets as hirelings of my rivals are always standing outside my home and as soon I go out they start making fun of me. They taunt me as Khusra (derogatory word for transgender persons).
